I now refer to Document Number 1130-PS, which is marked
Exhibit USA-169. This document consists of a statement made by one Erich
Koch, Reich Commissar for the Ukraine, on the 5th day of March 1943 at a
meeting of the National Socialist Party in Kiev. I quote from the first
page of the English text, starting with the first paragraph  and
in the German text it appears at Page 2, Paragraph 1. Quoting directly
again from the English text Koch said:

"1. We are the master race and must
govern hard but just . . . .

"2. I will draw the very last out of this country. I did not
come to spread bliss. I have come to help the Führer The
population must work, work, and work again . . . for some people are
getting excited that the population may not get enough to eat. The
population cannot demand that. One has only to remember what our
heroes were deprived of in Stalingrad . . . . We definitely did not
come here to give out manna. We have come here to create the basis for
victory.

"3. We are a master race, which must remember that the lowliest
German worker is racially and biologically a thousand times more
valuable than the population here."

At this point I should like to offer in evidence Document Number
1919-PS, which is Exhibit USA-170. This is a document which contains a
speech delivered by Himmler, the Reichsführer SS, to a group of SS
Generals on the 4th day of October 1943 at Posen; and I am referring to
the first page of the English text, starting with the third paragraph.
For the benefit of the interpreters, in the German text it appears at
Page 23 in the first paragraph. Quoting directly again from this
document on the first page, starting with the third paragraph:

"What happens to the Russians, to the
Czechs, does not interest me in the slightest. What the nations can
offer in the way of good blood of our type we will take, if necessary,
by kidnapping their children and raising them here with us. Whether
the other nations live in prosperity or starve to death interests me
only insofar as we need them as slaves for our culture; otherwise, it
is of no interest to me. Whether 10,000 Russian females fall down from
exhaustion while digging an anti-tank ditch or not interests me only
insofar as the anti-tank ditch for Germany is finished."

THE PRESIDENT: Who is the author of that document?

MR. DODD: The author of that quotation is the Reichsführer SS
Heinrich Himmler.
The next document to which I make reference is Number 031-PS, which is
Exhibit USA-71. This document is a top-secret memorandum prepared for
the Ministry of the Occupied Eastern Territories on the 12th of June
1944 and approved by the Defendant Rosenberg;
